UPDATE- Where have I been?!

To be honest... I have no excuses! 

I've not been anywhere, i've just been working at finishing my postgraduate degree and finding a job. 

Now i've done both successfully, I think it's time to get back to blogging!

I've not spent this time on no buy... I've probably been buying more than before so I have PLENTY of things to review and so many good things I want to talk about.

Watch this space.

Mac Manish Arora Lipstick in Girl About Town or Kiss Manish- In SearchOf- Please Help Me Find One

It's no secret that I am a collector/hoarder of MAC lipsticks. I've nearly completed my collection of older limited edition shades such as Heatherette, Wonder Woman and Venomous Villains, but Manish Arora lipsticks are seemingly more elusive!

I am desperately in search of this lipstick in any condition from someone who is happy to be paid goods and services on paypal and who is also able to ship to the United Kingdom! 

I have no preference of shade. If you are reading this a few months (or even a year) since this post has been made, it's almost guaranteed I'll still be looking for one, so please leave me a comment, or I would prefer it if you email me at lilybettieandelsie@gmail.com as I might not be active on here :) 

I'm also looking for Dress Camp Too Fab, but I'm not as desperately searching this one (yet!)

Xoxo

I haven't posted in a while due to personal reasons and being generally mega busy! But I'll be back :)


Update: I have Kiss Manish now <3

Mac Lipstick Collection- Fifty Shades of Mac; Satin Finish.

Yep. Another instalment of my MAC lipstick collection. I'm going to show you my lipsticks with a Satin finish. Satin finishes remind me a lot of Amplified finishes. They are really creamy and give opaque colour pay off. The only difference I can see is the finish. Satin provide a more matte (semi-matte) finish. I don't gravitate towards these shades in the permanent range, but I don't know why because I love the ones I have. 

Betty Bright (Limited Edition)

Daddy's Little Girl (Limited Edition)

Kelly Yum Yum (Limited Edition)

Hoop (Limited Edition)

Sushi Kiss (Permanent in USA, unavailable in UK)

Toxic Tale (Limited Edition)

Rebel (Permanent)

My absolute favourite shade of this bunch is Hoop! I love it so much for every occasion. I'm going to be devastated when it runs out. Rebel is my least favourite, just because I find it a little hard to wear and it does go on a little patchy. It's a gorgeous colour though, and it doesn't stop me wearing it!

Do you have any recommendations for any Satin shades I should try from the permanent range?
